Chapter 12: And Now for the Boys...
Harry walked into the living room and sat next to Ron. He took a deep breath and started his best friend comforting session.
"Ron mate, what the bloody hell did you do now?''
"I, I don't know! I mean, I, she, I dunno!'' stammered Ron.
Harry gave him an exasperated look and sighed.
"Ok, let's try that again. Ron, buddy, what happened?'' Ron looked at him.
"We kissed, and when I say we I mean both of us!'' Harry looked at him for a moment and then started smiling.
"So does this mean that you two are finally back together?''
"I dunno, you and Ginny sort of interrupted and she ran off so we didn't talk. I doubt it though,'' said Ron sadly. He couldn't believe how stupid he had been! How could he have kissed her? She probably thought that he was a selfish git who had no consideration for anyone else but himself.
"Why do you doubt it? You two have always been crazy about each other!''
"Yeah but it's not like how it used to be Harry! It's not that simple, there are other people involved- Theo, Lavender, and Krum!''
"Ron, Lavender is only involved if you're the father of her baby. Viktor walked out almost four years ago; I doubt that he'll be coming back anytime soon. And Theo is a part of Hermione's life for ever. You can't change that...''
"I don't want to change it! It's just that Hermione won't ever risk him getting hurt and I hurt her badly.''
Harry sighed. He could see what Ron meant but he needed Ron to see that he and Hermione were made for each other.
"Ron, you love her and I know that she loves you. Look, I really think that you should talk to her, she's probably as confused as you are.''
"I would Harry but I have too much on my mind right now. Tomorrow I have to go to the hospital and see Lavender and Seamus and find out if I'm gonna be a dad. My whole life is hanging on the results of that test.''
Harry looked at his friend sympathetically. He'd never thought that this would happen to the golden trio. Ronald Weasley's life was literally in bits, Hermione Granger was on the run from the Bulgarian Mafia, and for once his own life was practically perfect!
"Ron, everything will be ok. Just get yourself through tomorrow. Everything will become crystal clear, and then you'll be able to think properly.''
"I hope you're right mate, because I do not want to loose Hermione.''
